The big language features for Java SE 8 are lambda expressions
(closures) and default methods (formerly called /defender methods/ or
/virtual extension methods/). Adding closures to the language opens up a
host of new expressive opportunities for applications and libraries, but
how are they implemented? You might assume that lambda expressions are
simply a more syntactically compact form of inner classes, but, in fact,
the implementation of lambda expressions is substantially different and
builds on the invokedynamic feature added in Java SE 7. This session
illustrates the boundary where language design and JVM architecture meet
and influence each other.

Brian Goetz is the Java Language Architect at Oracle, and is the specification lead for JSR-335 (Lambda Expressions for the Java Language.) He is the author of the best-selling book "Java Concurrency in Practice" and is a frequent presenter at major industry conferences.
